Blessed with a delicate tongue and a biting wit, Max Vandervere, revered editor of Epicurus Magazine, has chosen the courses for the world's most fabulous meal and the four chefs who created them. Among them are the ravishing Natasha O'Brien, famed for her pastry, and Louis Kohner, whose baked pigeons are nonpareil. Murder suddenly darkens the gourmet world when Louis is found baked to death in London and suspicion falls on Natasha and her ex-husband Robby Ross, a fast-foods franchiser who is trying to convince the great chefs of Europe to lend their names to his chain of omelet shops. Max then sends Natasha to Venice to interview renowned lobster chef Fausto Zoppi for a fish course, but he, too, is found dead, drowned in his lobster tank. Clearly, the murders are connected to Max's ultimate menu.

| Dispatch-Tribune NewspapersSteve CrumSlick comedy whodunit with George Segal and Jacqueline Bisset. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie's a light, silly entertainment, with class. A lot of the class comes from Morley, who's spent most of his time in recent years on the London stage and in British Airways commercials. |
| User ReviewShaun ROne of my all-time favorite movies... gorgeous food, solid humor... love love love it! |
| User ReviewJames POne of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long time. |
| User ReviewChris MWho's Killing the Great Chefs of Europe is a tasty, intriguing, and enjoyable romp of a movie. The food looks great, Jacqueline Bisset looks even better, the European locations are stunning, and the whole movie is a wonderful hybrid of mystery and comedy. It's an awful lot of fun and has sadly fallen under the radar. This is one movie that need to be rediscovered. It's great fun! |

| User ReviewKaren PAn old favorite...saw it when I was a kid and had nightmares about duck presse...saw it years later and laughed but still enjoyed it.. |
| User ReviewMitch ASo-so comedy is made better than it deserves by a good cast, especially George Segal. |
| User ReviewPaul COk comedy/mystery. The much heralded murders are a bit lackluster, though |
